Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will set out in theOfficial Report the extent of the decline in the level of imports of clothing and textiles from Hong Kong in the last two years.

Mr. Meacher

Following is the Information:

beef and butter over the latest 12 months compared with their value for the preceding 12 months.

Mr. Meacher

Following is the information:

lers to carry radio beacons, as is demanded by the Governments of Norway, the United States of America and Australia.

Mr. Clinton Davis

My Department is co-operating in research into the performance of emergency position-indicating radio beacons and also in international studies on the development of a device using satellite techniques. In view of the current limitations of such equipment I do not at present feel justified in making their carriage on trawlers a statutory requirement.
